The final evaluated answer will be 73,950.

Explanation:

First, you would make 87,000 into #87000/1#. Then you would have #87000/1xx17/20#.

Then, you would multiply the numerators, #87,000xx17#, and that equals #1,479,000#. Also, the denominators, #1xx20#, equaling #20#.

You would have the new fraction #1479000/20#.

Finally, you would simplify that by dividing #1,479,000# and #20#, that would give you the final answer of #73,950#.
